Privacy Policy

PATAS is operated by KikuAI. We collect only the data needed to provide the demo, hosted audit API, account access, usage limits, payments, and abuse protection.

1. Data you provide

Depending on the feature you use, this may include sanitized moderation rows submitted to the hosted API, source labels, your email address for one-time-code sign-in, and support messages you choose to send.

2. Audit data

The browser demo processes uploaded files locally and does not send raw rows to PATAS. The hosted API processes the sanitized rows you submit, but does not persist those raw input rows. It stores an input hash, audit metadata, usage events, and a sanitized report so you can retrieve the result.

3. Account and API data

We may store your email address, hashed one-time codes, hashed session tokens, API-key ownership records, key prefixes and tails, usage counters, and recent job metadata. A new raw API key is shown once and is not stored by PATAS.

4. Payments

Paddle acts as Merchant of Record for paid PATAS credits and handles card and tax details. PATAS stores transaction references, checkout status, payer-account linkage, and idempotent credit grants. PATAS does not receive or store your full card details.

5. Operational data

We may process IP addresses, timestamps, browser and request information, rate-limit counters, and security logs to operate the service and prevent abuse. We do not use third-party advertising trackers and do not use customer audit data to train AI models.

6. Service providers

We use infrastructure providers to host and secure the service, Paddle for payment processing, and a transactional email provider to deliver one-time sign-in codes. Each provider receives only the data needed for its function.

7. Retention and security

We retain account, entitlement, audit metadata, and security records only as long as reasonably needed for service delivery, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute handling, and legal obligations. We use encrypted transport, hashed credentials, rate limits, and access controls, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices and rights

You may request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal data where applicable. Some payment, fraud-prevention, and accounting records may need to be retained. Contact support@patas.app.

9. Changes

We may update this policy as PATAS changes. The current version and update date will remain available on this page.
